    Has FIIO tested the RC-WT1 with the Unique Melody Triple Fi 10 reshells with recessed sockets or am i the guinea pig ?   I already ordered them from Amazon last week and damn they are taking long to get here!! :(

    Songs that make your headphone WOOOOOW!!!

    Quote:   Try Sky & Sea  (Blue in Green) on her Travelling Miles album...    Cassandras music seems to make Senns cans come alive. so damn natural !!   I also enthusiastically recommend Rachelle Ferrelle's individuality CD. Extremely clean recording.   Presently listening to...

    Q701 impressions thread

    Quote:   I agree you have to like the signature.. and you can probably tell whether you will like it or not from the E10 and a few solid hours of burn in to tame the treble.  The asgard will not change the signature. but it will add a few pounds of flesh on the frame so to speak and...

    Q701 impressions thread

    Quote:   Heres the deal.     They will play to decent levels of volume. HOWEVER.... They will not sound as "filled out" as they should be.  I got the Q701's around three weeks ago and drove them with my E10. Then  I got an Asgard last week for my birthday and the headphones went into...

    Sennheiser HD 558 vs PC 360 vs HD 598

      Quote:   If you can perform the mod without damaging the casing ... one would assume you can and should be competent to put it back in if necessary without any problems regarding warranty. There are videos on how to perform the mod so yes in my opinion this is not a big deal. Persons...

    Sennheiser HD 558 vs PC 360 vs HD 598

    Sorry i cannot agree with what the guy above wrote. But then again. Its clear he did not perform the Mod. The 558 is pretty darned close to the 598 and  there is more bass in the 558. The headphone needs adequate burn in and the mod performed on it to really shine.   Unless you were looking...

    How does the UE TF10 sound compared to HD 558s?

    Getting an M50 is a step down in my opinion. but if thats your preference i cant stop you. As for the cable, I think you should be a little more happy you can freely replace the cable than be stuck with a headphone that has a undetachable broken cable. The cable in my experience last at least a...

    How does the UE TF10 sound compared to HD 558s?

    To answer your question if i had to part with one i would part with the Senns. The reason being is the fact that the TF10 has more detail retrieval  and i prefer the slight v sound signature (Good Bass slightly recessed mids Good Treble) and the soundstage is there. HOWEVER, I do not recommend...

    How does the UE TF10 sound compared to HD 558s?

    I have them both ..    I got my Triple Fi's before getting my 558 and let me tell you .. I almost sold my 558's when i did the initial comparison.   The benefits of having the Triple Fi vs the 558 is the extra clarity with treble extension and controlled Bass while maintaining very...

    SENNHEISER INVITES YOU TO BE PART OF HISTORY - (Seeking participants)

    Hi,   I have been a relatively new (compared to many on this forum) to the Hi Fi audio scene and since i have been here i have taken a slow (due to budget) but very satisfying journey into discovering what true hi fi audio is like. I have so far had the pleasure of owning and experiencing In...

    Unique Melody Remold Impressions Thread

    Quote: Thanks .. sent a PM with a few more questions .. If you dont mind     I must say though that losing the soundstage is a bit of a concern for me. If adding the mids just very slightly lessens the soundstage then i guess i can live with it. However if adding it turns the...

    Unique Melody Remold Impressions Thread

    Can anyone give an impression of how much of an upgrade it would be to get the fourth driver on a TF10 reshell ?   What are the improvements in terms of Sound Quality?   Does it substantially change the sound signature of the Triple Fi 10 or just very slightly enhances it ?   I have...

    To custom, or not to custom?

    Funny. Im in the same boat and getting almost the same thing. In my case im thinking of going with UM and adding a mid driver for my Triple  fi 10 Pro's.   Im also looking for someone on here who could tell me what to expect in terms of the sound by going down this road and if its worth...

    How to improve audio from laptop cheaply

    Ok.. I got my first pair of decent Headphones ... and im having a little problem..

    Ok my quoted reply in the post above is missing so ill retype it.     I guess ill hold on to them for a few weeks and re evaluate them when the E7 arrives. Worse case scenario ill use them for Gaming.  Considering that i may have to go to the 600/650 series to get the commensurate...

    Ok.. I got my first pair of decent Headphones ... and im having a little problem..

        Frankly ... they sound like ass ..      Ok heres the background.. Ive been using IEM's for a couple of years ... and my daily IEM are UE Triple Fi 10 Pros .. which are arguably the most well rounded non custom  IEM around. The source is my Zune HD and they drive the IEMS ok. A few...

    Ok .. IEM user looking for Full Sized for June birthday present.

    Thanks for all the responses guys..   I purchased the Sennheiser HD 558  this weekend and i am actively looking at the amps that are available at less than 100.00 ...E7 or E11 (When released).   I can see myself going for the 702 at some point later in the year but thanks again and...

    Ok .. IEM user looking for Full Sized for June birthday present.

    Im going to assume you are joking here ...   I have TF 10 Pros for my portable needs and even if i was looking for another IEM Shure would definately NOT be on my shortlist. I actually quite dislike their sound signature.   ZMD thanks for the recommendation ill do some research on those...

    Ok .. IEM user looking for Full Sized for June birthday present.

    Thanks for all the responses.. Let me clarify a few things however. I will be using this headphone indoors and if the open headphone is superior and requires a quiet environment that is no problem. If the best headphone at the price point specified is a closed one then that also is no problem...

    Ok .. IEM user looking for Full Sized for June birthday present.

    Oh BTW scrap the amps request ... Fiio seems to have good amps at a realistic budget ..Thank goodness  considering when i just started on here getting your foot in the amp door was at least 200 dollars upwards.
